The Management of the Taraba State University (TSU), has prohibited the wearing of the following outfits; miniskirts, face caps, rolled sleeves, and other indecent attire on campus.

This was stated in a circular issued by the school's Vice Chancellor, Professor Sunday Paul Bako, ordering lecturers in the institution to start denying students access to lecture halls due to inappropriate clothing.
The VC also stated that the students had consistently disregarded the university's dress code rules and regulations.

He also advised deans, department heads, and faculty officers to ensure that students dress appropriately within their respective colleges, schools, and faculties.

Wearing transparent dresses, mini and skimpy dresses, and other clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body was prohibited and highlighted in the circular.

Students are also prohibited from wearing tattered and dirty jeans with holes or obscene subliminal messages; shirts without buttons; shirts that are improperly buttoned; rolling of sleeves or flying collar; and wearing of face caps or complete face covering with very dark glasses."

Others include, “Wearing of tight fitting apparels; wearing clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body; wearing shirts and tops with obscene, obnoxious or seductive inscription “baggy, saggy or ass level clothes and any other form of indecent tros and piercing of body and tattooing.”

While the male students were barred from wearing ear rings and necklace, including plaiting, weaving or bonding of hair, the female students were cautioned not to wear, “lousy, unkempt, extremely bogus hair or coloured artificial hair, brightly tinted hair/eye lashes/brown, fixing of long eye lashes, nails and artificial dreadlock.”

The University Management however noted that any student found violating the dress code in the premises would be sanctioned accordingly.

Good 👍 other universities should follow suit. The moral decadence in our high institutions these days is nothing to write about. I during our own time, we were forced to dress in corporate attire, so a uniform was introduced with that, sanctity was restored.

First time in Nigeria university.

Even face cap?

Una for kuku sew School uniform give them.

Preparation for the future

Before you blast the university...consider it that the university is preparing you for the future.

Most employers have a dress code. The more prestigous the job, the more refined the dress code. So, before we shout abuse at the university... that in the real world, there is a dress code.

Even if you are working in a factory, they would tell you to wear an ugly baggy uniform that is not fashionable. It looks ugly, but it is also meant to protect you from the machinery. (A sensible factory, not Oga Linus' or Ade's Furniture workshop..lol).

I used to patronise a bank when I was a student. Standard trust bank (now part of UBA ). And one thing I noticed about the bank tellers and workers was that all of them were observing a dress code. Nothing like 'baggy tros, micro mini skirts, etc...proper coprporate clothing. When they were ';casual' they wore shirts with the bank's logo. If not that I was not willing to be a banker, I would have ed up as soon as I graduated..lol.

Don't complain. They are preparing you for the real world tomorrow...where an employer would make you dress very conservatively, and you can't complain because the salary at the end of the month is 450000 naira. Plus perks.

No be first time oo!
Back then in UNN you can't dress like this to the department of Civil Engineering.

Idiots..

School should be a place of transformation for good not a breeding ground for aberration

Savage!!!


Even wearing face cap is prohibited.....make una dey play o.



Backward ever.....forward never

Sabi university.....

Taraba state don Unical and LASU.

But does a student of a tertiary university need to be compelled or told that he or she must be decently dressed at all times?!!

For a cultural society like Africa, it shouldn't even be overemphasized.

Nice one..

These young adults are going crazy with their dress senses, on campus..

Go to campuses, you would see all manner of nudity; no bra with nipples visible, bum shorts, rimmed jeans, crazy tattoos and hairstyles, etc..

I know and understand how desperate we are, to be like the west; social liberty and all. But the danger in the nearest future (knowing fully well, how we do things in excess), would be so devastating/catastrophic...

Unizik should do the same. 😏

Good development

I like that okoro head warmer

How will students with tattoo react to this? Should they now cut the affected body part?lol

Necklace prohibited kwa?
The students should just wrap themselves up in blankets to school na.

glorified secondary school 🤭

Hmnnn

About time all this lousy dressing has to stop

Those useless lashes should be ban everywhere.
Never seen an eye lashes wearing girl who has sense!

Better for our poor society.

The vice chancellor must belong to scripture union or pentecostal Churches

Yet you people will claim to be copying the West. Tell me which University in the UK or USA that will detect the kind of hairstyle a guy should barb or which description should be written on students shirt?

Advance secondary school and yet they can’t even teach the student well. Only depend on sorting and selling of handouts

Gradually the truth of Shariah Law will out!

Proudly muslim.

Not surprised.......E don dey happen for many higher institution allover the country.....

And I'm in of it...............If you must come to campus,then you must dress decently..... Campus no be fashion ground..........Na book you come learn



Candidlady,what do you have to say about the ban being placed on miniskirts?

Very good of them.

Welcome development but it wouldn't change the atrocities committed by humans in higher institutions. But i like it
